| Description | In 2025, Utah became the first state to ban the display of pride flags on government buildings and in schools. The day before the state-level ban took effect, the Salt Lake City Council adopted three new official flags, two of which were pride flags. The bill allowed exceptions for official flags, so as a result, the ban effectively does not apply to Salt Lake City. |
